   Abstract:
   Stem cells have the remarkable capability to self-renew in an undifferentiated state and to differentiate into many types of cells with specific functions upon receiving appropriate triggers. In this article, five different types of stem cells are discussed: human embryonic stem cells, human-induced pluripotent stem cells, neural stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and hematopoietic stem cells. We describe their initial discovery, sources where they are obtained and niches where these stem cells reside, the canonical phenotypic markers for distinguishing them, their lineage differentiation capabilities, and review some key clinical trials that are ongoing for each of these important stem cell types.
